Both the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price are subject to adjustment and change as provided herein.

 

1. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. In addition to capitalized terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, the following capitalized terms used in this Warrant shall have the following respective meanings:

 

1.1 “Fair Market Value” of a share of Common Stock as of a particular date shall mean the average of the daily VWAP for the twenty (20) trading days prior to the exercise date of the Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is no active public market for the Common Stock, the Fair Market Value shall be the value thereof, as agreed upon by the Company and the Holder; provided, however, that if the Company and the Holder cannot agree on such value, such value shall be determined by an independent valuation firm experienced in valuing businesses such as the Company and jointly selected in good faith by the Company and the Holder. Fees and expenses of the valuation firm shall be paid for by the Company and the Holder, equally.

 

1.2 “Registered Holder” shall mean any Registered Holder in whose name this Warrant is registered upon the books and records maintained by the Company.

 

1.3 “Warrant” as used herein, shall include this Warrant and any warrant delivered in substitution or exchange therefor as provided herein.

 

1.4 “Common Stock” shall mean the Common Stock of the Company and any other securities at any time receivable or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

 

 

 

1.5 “VWAP” shall mean for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on one or more established stock exchanges or national market systems, including without limitation The NASDAQ Global Select Market, The NASDAQ Global Market or The NASDAQ Capital Market of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, the New York Stock Exchange or the NYSE MKT, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the trading market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the Common Stock is regularly quoted on an automated quotation system (including applicable tiers of the over-the-counter market maintained by OTC Markets Group, Inc.) or by a recognized securities dealer, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the applicable OTC Markets Group, Inc. tier or as quoted by such securities dealer, or (c) if there is no active public market for the Common Stock, then as determined in accordance with Section 1.1 above.

 

2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

 

2.1 Payment. Subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant and applicable securities laws, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part at any time or from time to time, on or before the Expiration Date by the delivery (including, without limitation, delivery by facsimile or email) of the form of Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Exercise”), duly executed by the Registered Holder, to the principal office of the Company, attention: Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and as soon as practicable after such date, surrendering

 

(a) this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, attention: Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and

 

(b) payment, (i) in cash (by check) or by wire transfer, (ii) by cancellation by the Registered Holder of indebtedness of the Company to the Registered Holder; or (iii) by a combination of (i) and (ii), of an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Shares being purchased upon such exercise by the then effective Purchase Price (the “Exercise Amount”).

 

2.2 Cashless Exercise. In lieu of the payment methods set forth in Section 2.1(b) above, the Registered Holder may elect to exchange all or some of this Warrant for shares of Common Stock equal to the value of the amount of the Warrant being exchanged on the date of exchange. If Registered Holder elects to exchange this Warrant as provided in this Section 2.2, Registered Holder shall tender to the Company the Warrant for the amount being exchanged, along with written notice of Registered Holder’s election to exchange some or all of the Warrant, and the Company shall issue to Registered Holder the number of shares of the Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

  X = Y (A-B)  
    A  

 

  Where: X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Registered Holder.
       
    Y = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the amount of the Warrant being exchanged (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
       
    A = the Fair Market Value of one share of the Common Stock.

 

2 | Page

 

 

  B = Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
       
      For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities  Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the shares of Common Stock issued in a cashless exercise transaction in the manner described above shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Registered Holder, and the holding period for the Common Stock issued upon the cashless exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have commenced, on the Original Issuance Date.
       
      For purposes of a cashless exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.2, the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be disregarded in calculating the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with the cashless exercise of this Warrant.

  

2.3 “Easy Sale” Exercise. In lieu of the payment methods set forth in Section 2.1(b) above, when permitted by law and applicable regulations (including Nasdaq and FINRA rules), the Registered Holder may pay the Purchase Price through a “same day sale” commitment from the Registered Holder (and if applicable a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (a “FINRA Dealer”)), whereby the Registered Holder irrevocably elects to exercise this Warrant and to sell a portion of the Shares so purchased to pay the Purchase Price and the Registered Holder (or, if applicable, the FINRA Dealer) commits upon sale (or, in the case of the FINRA Dealer, upon receipt) of such shares to forward the Purchase Price directly to the Company.

 

2.4 Stock Certificates; Fractional Shares. As soon as practicable on or after the date of any exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the Shares a certificate or certificates for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a Share equal to such fraction of the current Fair Market Value of one whole share of Common Stock as of such date of exercise. No fractional Shares or scrip representing fractional Shares shall be issued upon an exercise of this Warrant.

 

2.5 Partial Exercise; Effective Date of Exercise. In case of any partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant upon surrender hereof and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date for the balance of the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above. The person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be treated for all purposes as the Registered Holder of record of such Shares as of the close of business on the date the Registered Holder is deemed to have exercised this Warrant.

2.6 Vesting. This Warrant shall vest fully upon issuance.

 

3. VALID ISSUANCE; TAXES. All Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, shall, when exercised and the Purchase Price paid for in accordance with the terms hereof, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and the Company shall pay all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed in respect of the issue or delivery thereof. The Company shall not be required to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issuance of any certificate for Shares in any name other than that of the Registered Holder of this Warrant, and in such case the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any stock certificate until such tax or other charge has been paid, or it has been established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that no tax or other charge is due.

 

4. ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities or property receivable or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) and the Purchase Price are subject to adjustment upon occurrence of the following events:

 

4.1 Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Subdivisions or Combinations of Shares. The Purchase Price of this Warrant shall be proportionally decreased and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be proportionally increased to reflect any stock split or subdivision of the Company’s Common Stock. The Purchase Price of this Warrant shall be proportionally increased and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be proportionally decreased to reflect any combination of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

4.2 Adjustment for Dividends or Distributions of Stock or Other Securities or Property. In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a record date for the determination of eligible Registered Holders entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution with respect to the Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) payable in (a) securities of the Company; or (b) assets (excluding cash dividends paid or payable solely out of retained earnings), then, in each such case, the Registered Holder of this Warrant on exercise hereof at any time after the consummation, effective date or record date of such dividend or other distribution, shall receive, in addition to the Shares (or such other stock or securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such date, and without the payment of additional consideration therefor, the securities or such other assets of the Company to which such Registered Holder would have been entitled upon such date if such Registered Holder had exercised this Warrant on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such Shares and all such additional securities or other assets distributed with respect to such Shares as aforesaid during such period giving effect to all adjustments called for by this Section 4.

 

4.3 Reclassification. If the Company, by reclassification of securities or otherwise, shall change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification or other change, and the Purchase Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 4. No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 4.3 upon any conversion or redemption of the Common Stock which is the subject of Section 4.5.

4.4 Adjustment for Capital Reorganization, Merger or Consolidation. In case of any capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), or any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company then, and in each such case, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that the Registered Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Purchase Price then in effect, the number of Shares of stock or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer that a Registered Holder of the Shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 4. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of any other corporation that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. If the per-share consideration payable to the Registered Holder hereof for Shares in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Registered Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

4.5 Conversion of Common Stock. In case all or any portion of the authorized and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are redeemed or converted or reclassified into other securities or property pursuant to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or otherwise, or the Common Stock otherwise ceases to exist, then, in such case, the Registered Holder of this Warrant, upon exercise hereof at any time after the date on which the Common Stock is so redeemed or converted, reclassified or ceases to exist (the “Termination Date”), shall receive, in lieu of the number of Shares that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the Termination Date, the securities or property that would have been received if this Warrant had been exercised in full and the Shares received thereupon had been simultaneously converted immediately prior to the Termination Date, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant. Additionally, the Purchase Price shall be immediately adjusted to equal the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate Purchase Price of the maximum number of Shares for which this Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Termination Date by (y) the number of Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the Termination Date, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

 

5. CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. In each case of any adjustment in the Purchase Price, or number or type of Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company shall compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, including a statement of the adjusted Purchase Price. The Company shall promptly send (by facsimile or email and by either first class mail, postage prepaid or overnight delivery) a copy of each such certificate to the Registered Holder.

The Company hereby covenants that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant and such number of shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company as are from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and, from time to time, will take all steps necessary to amend its Articles of Incorporation to provide sufficient reserves of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. All such Shares shall be duly authorized, and when issued and paid for upon exercise and in accordance with the respective terms of this Warrant, as the case may be, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and free and clear of all preemptive rights, except encumbrances or restrictions arising under federal or state securities laws. Issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to the Company’s officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

8. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and compliance with all applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder may be transferred to any Registered Holder’s parent, subsidiary or affiliate, or, if the Registered Holder is a partnership, to any partner of such Registered Holder, in whole or in part, on the books of the Company maintained for such purpose at the principal office of the Company referred to above, by the Registered Holder hereof in person, or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant with the Assignment attached as Exhibit B to this Warrant properly completed and executed and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer.
